Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “Stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor,
    Doing the military two-step, as in the days of yore.”
    —Joyce Grenfell (1910–1979)

    “The schoolmaster is abroad! And I trust to him armed with his primer against the soldier in full military array.”
    —Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832)

    “Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able to accomplish in it. To put up a wall against the military because of one regulation would be doing the same thing that the regulation does in terms of negating people.”
    —Margarethe Cammermeyer (b. 1942)
